Hi guys i'm back, but don't celebrate yet- i dont know for how long,

Here's what happened:

Mouths ago i was in an accident i broke my arm badly and it's been in a cast up until around a few weeks ago- i broke my right arm and me being right handed this proved to be extremely difficult for me, thankfully work allowed me to stay on as an advisor so i didn't lose my job be it that i couldn't work on the computer.
I slowly got used to using my left hand for most average things but found it rather hard to sir at a desk and type- hence the absence (i am really sorry for poofing like i did)

recently i'm been having a specialist help me use my arm and strengthen it, it's amazing really how much you lose after you don't use it for months.
I'm learning to write all over again crying

The hardest part for me is the need to exercise and straighten my fingers- while in the cast my fingers were slightly curved against it- i didn't realise what that meant until after i had the thing taken off.
Anyways my specialist has told me that the best way to get my hand back in working order is to actually constantly use it- he stuck me in front of a computer and had me use the mouse for around half an hour (it forces me to straighten my fingers)
At first it was agonizing but over time i've been able to do a lot of things i haven't done for a while- like for example come on Gaia and type!

I still have a long while to go to get up to the speed i once was, so if you message me or ask something of me- please dont feel ignored if i take forever to type back,

i hope that all of you will bare with me, i'm getting there slowly.

Welcome back! Glad you're on the mend. Those exercises are tedious but so important to get full range of motion and function back. Keep at it! Feel the love as we support you patiently as you work your way back to full capacity on Gaia, too!

So sorry about your arm, but glad to hear its on the mend. I fell a couple weeks back and lost use of my right arm for a bit and I went totally nuts. It was really frustrating. I can't imagine going without as long as you did. Hope your hand starts getting better super fast!

eek Oh gosh, I think that a guild would be the least of your worries in comparison to your health Vexy. I hope you gain back the use of your arms soon. I don't know if it would really help with your work and such, but have you ever considered using dictation software? It basically types for you from what it estimate you are saying....though it can be a pain sometimes.

i still have my left hand/arm for the most path so i'm okay- the more i use my right the stronger it gets-

the weights i have to do are a killer, but i really think it helps each and every day :Heart:

i may look into this dictation software purely for fun though razz
interesting biggrin

Well I guess playing computer games would be the best training for your hand XD

Have fun with dictation~ I used to use Dragon Speech, but now there are lots of free dictation capability. If you use Windows 7/Vista, its built in and chrome now has some plugin for it
